Background/Aim. Primary therapeutic approach to lumbar ureteral stones is still contraversial. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of stone impaction and size on the effectiveness of proximal ureteral stone lithotripsy. Methods. A total of 123 patients with proximal ureteral stones were investigated in this prospective study performed in a 10- month period. The patients were divided into the group I - 86 patients treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and the group II - 37 patients treated with 'Swiss' Lithoclast. In the group I, 49 stones (57%) were classified as impacted, while 20 stones (23.3%) were larger than 100 mm2. In the group II, 26 stones (70.3%) were impacted, and 11 stones (29.7%) were larger than 100 mm2. Stones were defined as impacted by the radiographic, echosonographic as well as endoscopic findings in the group II of patients. Stone size was presented in mm2. Chemical composition of stones were almost the same in both groups of the patients. Results. Generally, there was no statistically significant difference in the treatment success between the groups. However, stones larger than 100 mm2 were statistically more successfully treated endoscopically, while there was no statistical difference in the treatment success of impacted stones between these two groups. Conclusion. ESWL can by considered as primary first therapeutic approach in treatment of all proximal ureteral stones except for stones larger than 100 mm2 that should primarily be treated endoscopically.

Abstract Although parastomal hernias are a common complication of ostomy formation, herniation of intra-abdominal organs, aside from intestine, is infrequent. Furthermore, herniation of retroperitoneal organs, such as the kidney, is an extremely rare finding. We report the case of a 59-year-old male with a right ileostomy who presented with an acute kidney injury with suggestive urinary tract infection. A computed tomography scan revealed a left proximal ureteral stone with left hydronephrosis and a prominent right parastomal hernia with herniation of the mesenteric/retroperitoneal fat, portion of the right kidney, right proximal ureter and some bowel. The patient was taken to the operating room for a left cystourethroscopy with stent placement and made a full recovery. Due to the patient’s extensive surgical history, high risk of postoperative infection and lack of evidence demonstrating functional impairment of the right kidney, surgical intervention was not recommended at the present time.
